Dear Yeshiva University Community,

I would like to speak with you, members of the Yeshiva University Community,
about recent events in the news. As a result of the last week's revelations
regarding Bernard Madoff, much concern and speculation has arisen regarding
Yeshiva University. I write to you to make our situation clear.

B: "Hey, Mark, Andrew? Boys? I want to talk to you for a minute. Now... you know how long I've been watching out for you? How I've spent years guiding and shaping your lives, and providing for you?"

M: "We love you, Dad. You know that."

A: "Aren't we playing golf today?"

B: "But, boys... listen to me."

M: "I almost forgot about the fishing!"

B: "Ok, I want to be serious for a minute."

A: "We are very serious about fishing and golf."

M: "Very serious!"
